Customer Ratings & Reviews

This new iteration of the Elite controller is well... ELITE! It is one of the most comfortable controllers I’ve ever used and is better than any 3rd party pro controllers you can get! A tad pricey but well worth it! It has an internal rechargeable battery and the battery life lasts for days! Like binge playing all day... days! Must have for shooters too. Literally cannot play shooters anymore without paddles! Perfect compliment to a new Series X having 60-120fps!

Great controller, good for different games. Because of the ability to remap your controls to fit your place style. Only issue is the grips get loose over time and start to fall off. Occasional, stick drift If you play rough with your remote. I had this remote for almost a year.

I was on the hook due to price but after purchasing I was surprised how much I enjoyed using this controller.  I like the different opinions available to me.  The controller itself is nice and comfortable.  You have the option of changing the joysticks, triggers can be set to different sensitivity, paddles can be set for quick access during game play. You can also go into the controller settings for different joystick game play options. I don't see myself using a regular controller again.  There's also a nice case with a dock to recharge your controller.

Best controller in the market hands down. Love the grip on it and also the back sticks that makes hitting a button without losing grip on the controller way easier. This is the only controller that I use and I’m on pc. I tried different controller and this seems to be the best one. Wish it was a bit price friendly though.

This controller is awesome. Gives me no problems I had to replace my last one due to left stick clocks not engaging

Hands down the best controller. Rechargeable by just placing it in its case. Multiple ways to adjust every aspect of the way it works. Trigger pull, dead space, sticks, 5 types of movement speed that can be adjusted and feels great in your hand. I have 3 in their cases so I can just swap them out when ones battery's low.

Amazing controller that I couldn't recommend more. It has a nice heft that I enjoy, easily swappable sticks and D-pad, long lasting battery. I've owned many Elite Series 2 controllers and while I've heard issues with stick drift, I've almost never had any issue aside from me dropping one multiple times. My overall controller pick.

A very good controller for all around gaming. You don’t need to be a pro league gamer to get enjoyment out of this controller, the paddles allow so much versatility for so many different types of players. The small form factor and high quality materials make it sit easy and comfortable in the hands, and the long battery life will keep you playing for days. The customization potential is endless with the Xbox devices app (which can be downloaded on pc as well) which gives those who are tinkers full reign. Those who would rather just “set it and forget it” also have many great preset options.

Super solid controller. Built well and has a good, quality, weighty feel to the controller. The accessories that come with it are great, as I love a more traditional D-Pad style instead of the default circle D-pad. My only minor complaint is sometimes the buttons can seem a bit mushy, but nothing that causes a lower star count. Reccomend this!

I had a bad experience when i bought this controller as it came with stick drift out of the box. Took it back and the second one has been great so far. Love customization options as u can dial your sticks to your preference. The buttons feel good. The grip feels Better than original controller but not at good a Power A fusion pro. Overall great controller definitely improves your gaming.

The control is very comfortable and very, very good to use to play. I recommend recommended.

It's a recent generation xbox controller, so it can easily connect to your windows pc without the need of a dongle. The back buttons... on the back... are a life-changer. I would personally have a hard time going back to a controller without back buttons. You can customize the back buttons -and I think the general buttons too- however you want. You can have up to 4 back buttons in total and they are all removable. So if you are unsure about using them all at once, you can simply ease into it. The price is expensive, so make sure to properly think if you want such a product, but it is cheaper than getting the xbox core controller and the separate accessories. Great to play on your xbox or if you like to use controllers for your pc, it is easy to do so.

I bought this so I never had to take my fingers off the thumb sticks. Works great for this can map the 4 paddles to any buttons on the controller. And they are at your fingertips this said the controller is awesome. The battery lasts for every long gaming session I have charge it every night when I go to bed. I use the Xbox Stereo headset with this and it still has no problem. Only thing I would of asked was a smaller price tag.

This is my second elite controller the first had issues with the bumpers, I’ve had the second for two years now and the only issues are stick drift but you can fix that with the advanced settings.

It is a well made controller, a bit pricey compared to other controllers I’ve had, mine did come with a slight problem w the buttons but that’s fine for me, but I do suggest paying for the geek squad protection plan in any case you’re given a faulty controller, but in my own experience, I like this controller a lot, especially because of the pads on the back of the controller

Ergonomic design, heavy, comfortable, elegant and customizable! Honestly? Since I got my headset, this is the best purchase I’ve done for my Xbox and PC. I love the fact you can charge it INSIDE the case. And carry it without ruining the buttons, sticks or triggers. Plus other things y’all should check out about it... love it!

Good controller, I’ve been using it for the past 7 months. There is no stick sway and all the buttons are working fine, except the left bumper is having some difficulty. I usually have to press it closer to the right side for it to have any input. Besides that, pretty good upgrade from your standard controller. (The paddles are also really great, they just don’t come with the controller, and not many games on Xbox have compatibility for them.)

I really like this remote because of the paddles on the back. I learned and used them for about a year and I got extremely used to them. I never want to use a different remote ever again lol. I also love the fact that you can change the color of the xbox logo. The remote has lots of aftermarket support and customization parts that really make the controller feel unique to its user. Lastly, I enjoy being able to wirelessly connect this to my PC and have it work like connecting to an xbox. My gripes are that the controller is noticeably heavier and a bit bigger than a regular xbox remote, which doesn’t matter to most people, but I prefer the small and lightweight feel the stock series x remote has. I appreciate the ease Microsoft has made taking off and swapping the joysticks and D-Pad but it comes at the price of them being too loose and flying off of the controller if you’re aggressive/panic or drop the remote.
